Jingle Belles ... card 11

Good morning my lovely blog friends ... for the first time in over a week I am starting to feel better ... The sun is shining here too and I have a coffee date with some girlfriends later ...
The last few days I haven't even felt like crafting .... but last night I did manage to make a card to keep up with my venture at Jingle Belles  and we are now on to week 11 ... can you believe it? I know come December I will be sooo grateful that I continued with this challenge ... The only downside? ... well all the cards will be different and it will take me AGES to decided what to send to whom ... I'm a ditherer like that ... So this week  we have a colour challenge ... Kraft, White and Pale Blue as per this picture ...



As chosen by Leslie aka The Crooked Stamper ... This is my version ...


My little Ikea reindeer again ... remember I mentioned to you that these were cardboard tree decorations but I carefully split them into 3 and this one I covered in glitter ... my original post is Here
I used MME glitter paper again together with some blue snowflake paper from my stash and some little tree stickers that I've had for years ... 


The white ribbon is from K&Co ... the blue sparkly one along with the sentiment is from my hoard of stuff! So ... eleven down 40 more to go ...

Don't forget to join in my give away by clicking Here 

Have yourselves a wonderful day ... 'see you' tomorrow

You are certainly getting ready early. Skylarks are so elusive, I would swear they can throw their voices. Mostly we have to rely on identifying them by their song. But when you do see one, they have a little crest of feathers!!

Ros this is gorgeous. The colors you used are spot on. I never get enough of these beautiful IKEA reindeers and this glittered one is breathtaking. The background is perfect;I love the idea of a "landscape". Your tag with the sentiment is a lovely addition. Have a wonderful day...XXXXX
